^Night'ray^

Evening had taken way, and the few rays of sun were already darkening. The weary tom slowly made his way into the Windclan clearing. His wrenched shoulder burning, Night'ray ignored the few clan mates that sat idly around camp and made his way towards the den of his leader. How long had it been? How long was he even gone? He couldn't recall the exact date or time, but all he knew was that he was grateful to be home. Honestly no one had probably missed him in his absence, but who cared what anyone else thought?
Clenching his teeth, he silently endured each pang of dull pain that shot up his for-leg. The injury had recovered at an alarmingly slow rate, and the exhausting journey back hadn't helped in the least.That was the last time he'd ever do that again..
When he had finally reached the entrance of the den, Night'ray dipped his head in. Amber eyes glowing in the half light like two yellow moons. " Excuse both my absence, and this untimely intrusion, " He began, voice low; somewhat fearful of how the leader would react to his sudden appearance. "I was unfortunately caught up by a rouge at the far side of the border, I managed to chase them out and back to the two-legs abode. I needlessly injured my shoulder during the chase, and had to remain until I was able to make it back safely. Night'ray felt his claws slide out after he recalled the events from the past. It was more than embarrassing to admit the encounter to Twilight'star, what type of warrior gets outrun by a loner and then hurt so badly that he had to cower in the outskirts? A pathetic one thats what.

- Driftkit -

The little tom had ignored Ashkit’s [ @AshCloud67 ] many attempts to have a conversation with him, like I’d ever talk to a mother stealer. so instead to keep himself busy and unapproachable he decided that he would attempt to walk, that way he could meet Twilightstar and FallowNose and Cowpaw sooner than his siblings.

Sure, last time he tried to walk it didn’t go well, he had slipped and fallen onto a sharp twig, and his mother FireFlame [ @spirit free ] had to help him back up, but that time he hadn’t focused on his balance. So this time the little black and white kit had a bit of a plan on how he would teach himself to walk. First step: stand, second step: put one foot forward, thrid step: put other foot forwards and make sure to check balance, forth step: don’t die of embarrassment if you fall, fifth step: walk. Dumb right? I mean walking seemed so simple he only really needed a simple plan.

It’s now or never.. Driftkit thought as he started to enact step one: stand. He slowly stood up onto his white paws, somewhat wobbly, as expected, and made sure to keep his balance in check until he was steady. Okay! Great! step two: put first foot forwards. He lifted one of his paws gingerly, placing it down not too far away from him other foot, and shifting a small bit of his weight onto it. Step three: move other foot forwards. This is we’re he messed up last time- well- not with the moving foot part, but with the balancing part. He lifted his other foreleg, shifting all of his weight between his hind legs and his already placed front leg, slowly putting it down slightly in front of his other paw, applying weight to it, before moving his hind legs slowly after them, realising he should have moved them before. Okay! One step done! Now rinse and repeat. he put his paw forwards again, now feeling confident- too confident.

Over confidence can be helpful in some situations, like when trying to scare an enemy out of a battle- but in Driftkit’s case showing off to your litter mates and foster sister was not a situation that being over confident would help him. Especially since he was trying to do something he wasn’t good at and had never done before successfully.

Fear washed over him as he realised that his leg wasn’t taking any of the weight he was trying to put on it, and he collapsed to the ground in a heartbeat.

The tom padded back on Windclan, the reek of riverclan still on him. He flicked his tail nervously, how would he explain this to Twilightstar. He looked around for some mud, spotting some and padding up to it. Before he could get in he heard something. Oh dear...

The tom whezed. He kept coughing. He knew what was happening. He was expecting it for some time. He was dying. His chest tightened with every breath

@LeoDaLeaf @spirit free
Ashkit found a big feather and gave it to driftkit,”Here ya go!” She giggled sweetly, dropping it on his muzzle. She looked at fire flame, confused as to how her foster mother would put up with cats being mean to her(fireflame).
